Question: What is the purpose of binomial nomenclature?

Solution ( explanation):

Every recognized species on earth is given a two-part scientific name. This system is called binomial nomenclature. These two parts are the generic name (genus name) and the specific name (or specific epithet, in botanical nomenclature). Now, each biological species must be assigned a unique and universal scientific name. When a species receives two or more scientific names assigned by different researchers, the oldest will be respected.

Answer: we can conclude that the correct answer is:

A) to give every species a unique name for identification.
